Farming factoid
A man with a scythe could harvest about 2 acres a day..........a combine can do that same job in about 12 minutes now.

A list of time and energy saving devices invented over the past 200 years could take up all the space on ProBoards let alone this little forum.

You'd think it'd be an easy thing to prove to people that they aren't or shouldn't be as stressed or overworked as people in the past ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) |

If you can now do in 12 minutes what used to take you all day, that just means some arshole is going to give you more to do with the time you saved. So how is that less stressful? |

Good point.
This is why we have Unions around...........to make sure their members are only required to meet the production standards of the ancient past. |

it's very often all in your attitude/approach.
I'd guess most porn stars view their occupations as a chore, too.

Abs, if you have something to say, say it. These little bait and switch posts - while amusing - are getting to be just too obvious. |

You won't believe me anyway.
I was merely watching Modern Marvels and they tossed out that factoid. THAT's it
It struck me as funny that any people today in modern societies believe they're working nearly as hard as people of the past.

I would think it's an easily agree upon point for most people.
With the exception of the Dirty Jobs types that still do some pretty gnarly work..........most of us? We're living better than kings of the past.
We'll still bitch, though. Just like me. I bitch about taxes and stuff all the time.
